Laken Cantrell (2-for-5), Brooklyn Hicks (3-for-4), and Kayleah Jones (1-for-2) each led the Lady Cougars with two RBIs each. Hicks, and Gabby Marshall (3-for-4) were the only batters in the game with three hits apiece.

The Lady Fighting Blues had five batters with one hit each. Autumn Mundy (1-for-2), Olivia Julian (1-for-3), and Claudia Coleman (L/1-for-3) each had RBIs for the team.
